RSP Film Room No.49: Eagles WR Nelson Agholor

Footballguys and Backyard Banter writer Matt Harmon joins the show for a long-awaited look at former USC receiver Nelson Agholor.

Matt Harmon asked me to save Nelson Agholor for him. The Eagles’ rookie is a favorite of ours and we examine Agholor’s Cal and Stanford performances and discuss his potential in Philadelphia during this 90-minute episode:

The importance of stopping fast as a route runner.

A great example why fingertip catching stops the ball’s rotation.

Footwork versus press coverage.

Agholor’s comfort in the middle of the field.

Why the rookie can play both inside and outside.

How flat breaks create easier catch opportunities and yards after the catch.

How the legs are important to successful run blocking.

Judicious leaping for the ball.

We waited six months, but we finally got around to doing the show. Enjoy!
